A free interlude

One of the lovely things about Jackson's is the small and unannounced arrivals. These wonderful burgers, served just before the main meat course, being a prime example.

Stylidium

The Great Mellie

37 High St, Fremantle

Brekkie pizza

$A12 from The Greenhouse, 100 St Georges Tce. Rustic. I wonder if the dough could have done with more time?

Xiao long bao (Shanghai soup dumplings)

From Din Tai Fung. Supposedly the secret is to use aspic or agar so the broth is solid when the dumplings are made and liquid when steamed.

Late afternoon and the smell of BBQ chicken wings permeates the air. . .

Tom yam soup

My slightly unbalanced version of a classic. Too much lime juice and not enough fish sauce or chilli. . .
